Everyone's cycle is different. There is a myth that woman ovulate 14 days after their period begins...but that is only an AVERAGE and each month can be different. The other thing is that sperm can live inside you for up to 5 days.... so if you are having a shortened cycle one month and you have sex right after your period and you ovulate earlier than day 14 than yes, there is a chance of getting pregnant. They only way to know is to know exactly when you ovulate. There are several ways to know and some are more effective than others. Some can only predict before ovulation happens and some can only predict that is has already happened. The absolute best info I can give you is to go read a book called Taking Charge of your fertility by Toni Weschler. It will help you understand your body and all the myths about it. It will help you time when you are ovulating and the best times to conceive – or not! . It's about knowing your body and knowing when you are fertile or not.
My husband and I tried for 1 year and had no luck....the first month that I began using the book I realized that my timing was WRONG!. We got pregnant that very first month and I am now due Feb 2, 2007. You can pick and choose what you do with your info. Good luck and don't listen the all the myths! Even if you don't get into charting and everything....it will help you in so many ways!

You should not try to be pregnant, and just have sex when you're both in the mood.
Babies result from sex. Its really that simple. Its when you freak out over the process and the time its taking and try to MAKE it happen that you cause stress and cant get pregnant.
But technically, every 2nd or 3rd day is best. It takes about 72 hours for a mans testes to repenish his sperm supply. It takes every one of those swimmers possible to get one to the egg.
So, just relax. Sex is fun, not a duty to get pregnant.

Every day would work better, but don't panic if you don't conceive. A recent study found that women who live the longest had trouble conceiving, often not having their first child until their 30s. Apparently their body just was not ready to conceive.

Most fertility specialists will tell you not to have sex everyday because it takes the man about 48 hours to replenish his sperm.
My doctor has always recommended every other day.

If you are trying to conceive, it may be best to have sex every second day around ovulation.

well, I've heard of people that only have sex once and get pregnate... if you really really really really want to get preggo, just have sex, and have it whenever you can, no point in setting a certain time or at a certain temperature cause really in the end, you suppose to just have fun... good luck
